The contents of the Path Overhead (POH) bytes
(e.g., Z6 through C1) of the incoming PLCP frame
is output via a serial port consisting of the RxPOH,
RxPOHClk, and RxPOHFrame output pins. This
serial output port is discussed in greater detail in
section 7.2.2.3.
3.2.2.1PLCP Framing
At any given time, the Receive PLCP Processor will
be operating in any one of three (3) “framing” modes.
• Un-Framed
• Out-of-Frame (OOF)
• In-Frame
